Scientific paper

Very high-dispersion spectra (2.5 Å mm-1) were obtained of 31 southern late-type stars, predominantly early G giants, in an effort to find new rapidly rotating, active stars which would be FK Com-like. Measurements of linewidths and the strength of chromospheric Ca II K-line emission are presented, but no new star could be added to the class of "rapid rotators". Space densities and evolutionary lifetimes for FK Com stars are discussed.
